| It's been called a juggernaut. It's been described as invincible. And we've
| all been told it is inevitable. But last month, the Windows-Intel duopoly
| that has dominated tech for so long seemed to be none of those things.

| model for packaging and distributing Microsoft software and Intel
| chips--said it would downsize its third-quarter profit forecast by almost
| third.
